Hi there,
I'm making a childrens' storage box. I have pretty much finished the box but having troubles with getting the lid to soft-close.
There is a fair bit of weight to the lid, because it is about 53cms deep, by 100cms wide, made from 20mm tongue and groove cypress pine boards.
I have installed two Prestige Medium to Heavy Weight Soft Close Lid Stays from Bunnings. Problem though - they seem to have little effect on the lid closing speed. It still slams closed with a fair bit of force. I am uploading a photo of the back of the hinge specs. I have marked where i think the approximate torque movement is on my box. It's obviously outside the range of one soft close stay, but I thought it would be well within the range for two.
I'm looking now for a third soft close mechanism, probably one that can mount in the centre of the rear of the box I guess?
Thanks for the help in advance
